I was more alluding to the fact that hopefully we'll have better players to be having at-bats against Mo than...Willie Harris.

Ah. Yes, I think so, too. But he has some unique qualities that might be worth holding onto him. Namely, his speed (on the basepaths and in center), and the fact that his strike zone is half the size of Ortiz's. And his shorter stroke might actually work to his advantage against power guys like Rivera. That was the cut fastball he drove to right field last night. He needs some work, but hopefully some time with the coaches during the season will bring out his potential.
